Invalid initial heap size

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
17

Hello,

Just to clarify the free -m/h command I am going to quote this here:

  • total : Your total (physical) RAM (excluding a small bit that the kernel permanently reserves for itself at startup); that's why it shows ca. 11.7 GiB , and not 12 GiB, which you probably have.
  • used : memory in use by the OS.
  • free : memory not in use.

total = used + free

  • shared / buffers / cached : This shows memory usage for specific purposes, these values are included in the value for used .

Can you please tell me if this is a bare-metal server or a VM of a sort (KVM/Vmware/docker/etc.)?

Also, it would be helpful if you can stop the Elasticsearch then show us free -m. I want to see what is available or free when nothing is running on your system.

This is my free -h just as an example:

-Xms30g
-Xmx30g

              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            94G         32G        753M         72M         61G         61G
Swap:            0B          0B          0B
